Project Description
The Life Science building is occupied by College of Science which includes: Biology, Psychology, Bio-engineering, Physics, Research Offices and the Animal Research Facility. This building was constructed in 1970, thus the infrastructure has served its useful life. This improvement is imperative for achieving Tier I status. Technological advancements necessitate complete replacement of the labs. HVAC systems and electrical systems will be modernized, remaining asbestos will be removed, roof replacement is due, and redesign of classrooms is needed. Installation of a fire sprinkler system is included to meet current codes. Classroom teaching technology will be updated. The Animal Research addition will be a new vivarium care facility that will consolidate resources, expand capacity and capability in research and training. This 15,000 sq ft addition will allow the UTA to grow research programs in basic and translational areas of the health sciences. TRB assumes a 6% rate over 20 years.

Schedule 9: Special Item Information 10/26/2012 11:03:00AM
83rd Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1
Special Item: 1 Science Education Center (1) Year Special Item: 2002
(2) Mission of Special Item:
To train pre-service and in-service science teachers by offering them standards based inquiry science instruction coupled to rigorous science content in all major disciplines with
innovative methods to improve their content knowledge and teaching skills. Also, to expand teacher training activities for science education majors significantly, provide direct contact outreach activities to students, promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) workforce development across the state, and increase the number of students in the graduate programs.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
The SEC has initiated a successful MA in Interdisciplinary Science program for science teachers. To date, there have been 87 graduates of the MAIS program. At least 3 of these graduates have served as Science Coordinators for their school districts, and other graduates have risen to other leadership positions. We have developed 16 new courses for the MAIS program, and M.Ed. students in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction also use these courses. We twice hosted the Texas State Science and Engineering Fair, serving about 1,000 students, and sponsored major events, including "Shaping the Future in Science and Math Education" and STEM workforce development workshops. We have helped form and guide the Texas Science Careers Consortium, have served hundreds of 6-12th grade students with hands-on summer science camps, and have equipped and promoted a large kit based science lending library for regional teachers to help them evaluate and gain access to standards based materials that promote inquiry. The SEC has hosted Arlington ISD science teachers for a day of in-service training for several summers, managed the ExxonMobil Science Ambassador outreach program for K-8 student audiences, coordinated four ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camps for middle school students, and collaborated with the College of Education on several grant proposals, leading to support for teacher preparation and training from the National Science Foundation and the THECB.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
To expand teacher-training activities for science education majors significantly, provide direct contact outreach activities to larger number of K-12 students, promote STEM
workforce development throughout the DFW metroplex, and increase the number of students in the graduate programs. (4) Funding Source Prior to Receiving Special Item Funding:
None, the programs were developed and implemented as a result of special item funding appropriation. (5) Formula Funding:
N
(6) Non-general Revenue Sources of Funding:
We have received $100,000 since 2007 from ExxonMobil to support the ExxonMobil Science Ambassador program. The SEC received $320,000 from the Bernard Harris Foundation to support camper accommodations, meals and teacher salaries for the 2008 through 2011 ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp. In

2008, we received a $43,000 grant from UT System to prepare a proposal to replicate the UTeach model of secondary math and science teacher preparation. In 2009, the SEC was awarded a $1.4 million, 5-year grant by the UTeach Institute to replicate the UTeach program at UT Arlington. In 2008, 2009, and 2011, we received three grants from the THECB totaling $900,000 to support science teachers pursuing master's degrees and the production of new science teachers. In 2008, we received a $150,000 grant from the Greater Texas Foundation to support the production of new middle level (grades 4-8) math and science teachers. Also in 2008 and 2009, we received $900,000 in funding from the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program to support the production of new Physical Science and Math secondary teachers. In 2010 we received another $1.45 million for a second NSF Noyce grant serving Life Science certification candidates and middle level Math and Science certification candidates. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, we also received over $450,000 in gifts to support the scholarships and internships of our UTeach replication project.
(7) Consequences of Not Funding:
This special line item funding supports, or partially supports staff members that are involved in several projects. Without the appropriation, it would be necessary to eliminate the Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Science program for science teachers that has produced 88 graduates since its inception in 2001. Without the line item funding, the Science Education and Career Center (SECC) at UT Arlington would be forced to close. In a typical year, the SECC checks out more than 10,000 study materials to UTA students. Part of the salary for the SECC's director is paid from the line item. This director is responsible for procuring the grant and gift funds that augment the outreach and science education efforts of the SECC. In addition, the SECC director also serves as the liaison between the College of Education and Health Professions and the College of Science. The- director is heavily involved in teacher certification issues and in putting together teams across the colleges to apply for private, federal and state grants. These teams have brought in almost $3.5 million since 2007. These efforts would be curtailed if the director were forced to teach additional courses to compensate for lost salary. The ability to continue to replicate UTeach at UT Arlington would be compromised if this line item was not funded since much of the SECC director's time is spent as co-director of that program.

Schedule 9: Special Item Information 10/26/2012 11:03:00AM
83rd Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1
Special Item: 2 UT Arlington Research Institute (UTARI) (1) Year Special Item: 1986
(2) Mission of Special Item:
The mission of The University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute (UTARI), formerly The Automation & Robotics Research Institute, is to bridge the gap between academic research and product development and to be a major source of research expenditures for UT Arlington as it strives to achieve Tier 1 status. UTARI seeks to be the center of gravity for commercialization of research and university – industry consortia in the North Texas area. We collaborate with UT Arlington faculty by providing opportunities for stimulating research and development on both undergraduate and graduate levels. The vision is to become a global leader in the research and development of advanced technology to help humanity, providing unique, affordable solutions to complex problems.
UTARI’s Strategic Plan, adopted July 1, 2012, calls for a shift in focus from long-term, basic research of fundamental phenomena – considered 6.1 research by the Department of Defense – to shorter term commercialization of research, ideally leading to product development within a two-year timeframe. From a technology readiness standpoint, this represents TRL level 6 or higher. Among UTARI’s strengths are: advanced manufacturing, particularly rapid prototyping, micro and nano-manufacturing; biomedical devices such as the Biomask, which promotes healing for traumatic injuries; and applied robotics, both for assisted living and defense purposes.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
UTARI has developed a 48,000- square-foot facility on an 18-acre site. Expanded research space includes seven labs, two of which are clean rooms previously designated The Texas Microfactory. Recent capital improvements include $1.5 million worth of state-of-the-art equipment to enhance capabilities in rapid prototyping, modular robotic systems and advanced manufacturing. Projects have attracted more than $13,000,000 in DOD funding and a variety of other grants. Recent research highlights: the creation of a Biomask, in collaboration with the US Army Institute of Surgical Research and Northwestern University; the patent-worthy development of innovative technologies for micro-manufacturing, funded by a grant from the Office of Naval Research; the development of a MEMS-based microsensor element to impart the sense of touch in robotic surgery, in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago; three books co-authored and published in 2011 by UT Arlington Ph.D researchers, together with other writers; plus a number of other journal articles and publications. In addition, an intense month-long process resulted in the development of a Strategic Plan, adopted in July, 2012. Recent additions to the staff include a new
executive director (Lt. General US Army, retire); an associate director (Brig. General US Army ,retired); an IT director; and a coordinator of communications and marketing.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
UTARI is aggressively seeking strategic partnerships with industries, government and faculty from the main campus and other universities. These partnerships will result in the development of an industry consortium. A yearly fee will entitle members access to our state-of-the-art equipment, and expertise of researchers and faculty. A recharge center will also be established for access on a pay-as-you-go basis. Strategic sweet spots are advanced manufacturing, applied robotics, medical technologies and, as a new pursuit, energy, water, and the environment. The intent is to focus on back-end research, bringing products to market within two years and creating spin-off companies. Funding awards have recently been received for a collaborative effort with RE2, Inc., to create human-size robots to operate in disaster areas; and for a collaborative effort with the US Army and Northwestern University to develop a bioreactor to enable the human body to regenerate functional muscles after traumatic facial injuries.

Schedule 9: Special Item Information 10/26/2012 11:03:00AM
83rd Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1
Special Item: 3 Rural Hospital Outreach Program (1) Year Special Item: 1978
(2) Mission of Special Item:
The RHOP’s original mission to provide continuing education programs to nursing staffs of rural hospitals in 15 counties surrounding Tarrant County has been achieved and expanded. The UT Arlington College of Nursing faculty and other external experts, deliver regional and on-line programs requested by rural health care facilities to ensure state of the science quality care. The RHOP has enhanced its scope of service and evolved into a center of influence through its years of
accumulated rural knowledge and expertise, resulting in solicited participation in multiple organizations, including those at the state and national levels. It has become the hub of information exchange for rural, the College of Nursing, and the community, meeting another mission of the RHOP.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
Since 1991, when the RHOP was named "The Program That Made The Most Difference" by the Texas Rural Health Association, it has continued to maintain its reputation of excellence and responsiveness. To date, service has been expanded from the original 15 counties to 189 Texas counties. Multicultural content is threaded into the courses based on the patients in rural areas. The Office of Rural Affairs (ORA-formerly Texas Department of Rural Affairs (TDRA)) has provided funding to the RHOP to ensure expansion for continuing education for staff in rural counties and 76 Critical Access Hospitals throughout Texas. Funding from ORA began in 2003 and continued through June 2011 with future funding anticipated after the agency’s restructure is complete. Because of its 30+ years of accumulated rural knowledge, expertise and networking, the RHOP has expanded its role in addressing rural health and workforce issues through increasing information requests from nurses, students, faculty, and leadership from multiple facilities. This increase has resulted in RHOP personnel’s involvement in leadership positions to ensure rural input and perspective within several organizations.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
Revamp the delivery of regional CE programs for rural facilities to effectively address their current and upcoming challenges regarding budgets, staffing, and attendance. Continue to respond to the growing role of RHOP as the center of influence through existing and new collaborations and provide the necessary expertise to ensure that rural health perspectives and issues remain an integral part of overall health care, including the nursing workforce. Participate in leadership positions in organizations such as the Statewide Community Planning Group, North Central Texas HIV Planning Council, annual Hispanic Bi-national Symposium, and the Pre-Nursing High School Academy, a new initiative from the College of Nursing to address underserved patient populations. Increase rural networking and collaborations with the College of Nursing’s expanding RN-BSN program , Academic Partnership program, and Nurse Practitioner rural clinical sites. Continue to develop programs on clinical topics to meet changing needs of the health care environment and maintain up-to-date level of knowledge and skills of the nurse , incorporating cultural aspects of care, especially to the Hispanic patient population.
(4) Funding Source Prior to Receiving Special Item Funding:
More than three decades ago, a two-year foundation grant was awarded for the initial feasibility study and the initiation of the program. (5) Formula Funding:

(6) Non-general Revenue Sources of Funding:
Average funding of $9,000 between 1998-2003 from the Texas/Oklahoma AIDS Education Training Center; Average funding of $50,000 from the Office of Rural Affairs from 2003 to June 2011.
(7) Consequences of Not Funding:
Neither the College of Nursing’s current budget nor the low rural adjusted fee schedule for RHOP continuing education courses could sustain this program. Facilities continue to be unable to pay registration fees necessary to fully support the RHOP program. There is a direct relationship between funds received through
appropriations, grants and the level of program productivity and outcomes. Discontinuing the $45,802 funding would result in loss of infrastructure to maintain the program. As a consequence the initial reason for supporting this program, the need to update the knowledge and skills of rural nurses, would not be met by another group in Texas or nationally. In addition, the inability for the RHOP to meet the increasing demand by numerous entities for its rural health expertise, would
